Hi Michael,

Jochen, I found this German history lesson to be fascinating and would appreciate your comments.

Unfortunately there's nothing I can contribute from personal history. The Werewolves never were a topic among family members and friends. Hunger and sometimes thirst, soldiers who were drafted, died or survived as POW, the fate of refugees were the dominating end-of-WW II themes. The consensus was that everybody was happy who ended up in an American or British zone. Some relatives were in the French zone, they reported about rapes and theft during house searches. The Russians were feared years before the end of the war already.

Carl posted two messages about Werewolves, #reply-19167815 #reply-19167882 Apparently less US soldiers were killed per month in post-war Germany than in June 2003 in Iraq when the resistance activity was still low - and this although Germany has 3-4x the population of Iraq.
